Afghanistan Iranian saffron exports
Sbaghzadh said if we want real saffron prices should be supported and the main problem is manufacturers and exporters of saffron exports, are not, unfortunately Spain has generated less than one ton to 250 tons of saffron Iran saffron exports in almost all market integrate and even Afghanistan, while last year less than 3 tons of saffron produce more than 20 tons and production volume of Iran has provided the rest.
The saffron exporters continued despite producing 90% of the world’s saffron because saffron is exported in bulk are countries like Spain with packaging, saffron Iran several times the price to sell their own brand and they are making a profit.
